I was hoping to be able to push through this 12-week Madcow program without problems, but I think I'll deload starting next week. This past Monday, 355 pounds felt really heavy on my shoulders and I really struggled to put up 5 reps in the squat. My form was not great on the last rep. What I'll do is see how 360 pounds feels at the end of the week and go from there. I was really tired on Monday after working a long four-day stretch with family gatherings after some of those days (Thanksgiving for a very long day). I'm hoping Monday was just a bad day and that I can keep pushing forward. If 360 feels really heavy, I'm going to deload by going back to week 3 of the program and progressing from there.
My left foot strain is better but I still can't perform any plyometrics right now.
I'll let you know how it goes.
